Congratulations, Grant High Constitution team!

For the second year in a row, a Portland school has won the national “We the People” Constitution Team competition. Last year it was Lincoln; this year it was Grant.

I had the honor of being one of the many judges of the Oregon contest earlier this year. I remember thinking - as I listened to the Grant team display phenomenal knowledge of and insight into the Constitution, American history, current events, and how the democratic process works or doesn’t – “I don’t see how anyone in the country can beat this group.” As it turned out, nobody could.
